Thanks for reply , I just can't wait 'till October , but thanks anyway.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
if android is your top priority, why is this even a debate???

There has not been one instance of Android as a primary OS on any WinMo phone to date. And that is after, what, 2 years of trying.
[HD2 General] lude219:
Don't let the aesthetics of the HD2 fool you. If your main concern is the OS, then go ahead and get the Desire. No question about it. Android will never be running 100% on the HD2 and if you're not accustom to winmo in general (which mean countless head-scratching as you're trying to make it work), you're screwed.
[HD2 General] pHOBIAZ7:
Then I guess imma buy Desire.

Thanks for feedback.
[HD2 General] Mtk87:
Actually I'm using desire ROM on hd2, working fine, they made Android really batter in a few days.. think of the advantage of a dual boot ;)

Hmmm , does it have any glitches / bugs w.e ?

Cuz I don't want my phone to freeze or something , and its brand new.
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
You bet it does. I am an ex-owner of an HD2 and I swear to God that if the guys from the service center will give me a new HD2, I`ll say "no, thanks... what about a desire?" without having any second thoughts.

Personally, I`m done with the HD2. Full of bugs/freezes/etc, and I might say that I`m not quite the average apple fanboy who wants everything to work out-of-the-box. I love tweaking and hacking, but only to an extent.
[HD2 General] antaed:
my girfriend has the htc desire. in my opinion it has only 2 advantages over my hd2: better screen sensitivity and a brighter/more colorful screen (which i find not very natural anyway...).

the hd2 can run android now, it has a larger screen (with more natural colors) and i'm not willing to give up on wm just yet. android is very finger friendly, tons of apps and a more "secure" future ahead but i got bored with it very quickly.

so to make things short, i recommend to go with the hd2 or wait for something else... :)

oh, forgot to mention - your experience with the hd2 is highly dependent to the rom/radio/location "trinity". i am very happy with mine :)
[HD2 General] nzxtneo:
I really wanna say: get the HD2.

An Android ROM should be made available in another month or two and with all the development behind the HD2 (on XDA of course!), it might even run Android better than the Desire some day. And who knows, the HD2 might be ported to WP 7 some time next year.

How about them apples?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I serverly doubt there will be a flashable ROM for the HD2, read here, Zarathustrax has a good knowledge of Android ports.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
what are the two phones that have flashable roms
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I haven't a clue my friend, Zarathustrax is the man to ask. :)
[HD2 General] atn_chargers:
I think you should get the HD2. What can the Desire do that that the HD2 can't? And that massive screen dweebs out any other phone on the market. Plus the HD2 is cheaper than the Desire.
[HD2 General] pack21:
If HD2 will get a Stable and fast Android rom.....go to HD2....you will have two SO on a big, big screen.

but just if will have android stable...in contrary....:o
[HD2 General] nzxtneo:
With all the support behind Leo (HD2), I think it is pretty safe to assume there will be a flashable Android ROM at some point. But after researching it a bit more I think its also pretty safe to say; it will be a while...

The only Winmo phones I could find that can install Android to the NAND are the HTC Vogue (Touch), HTC Polaris (Touch Cruise), and the HTC TyTN's I and II. Whether they all run Android 100 % bug free is another story.

But the biggest drawback of all that I recently came across (thanks to the link provided by Kalavere), is that a NAND install of Android on the HD2 (or any Winmo phone for that matter) completely replaces Winmo on the device. And what's the fun in that?!?!!!??!

And lastly, without Android installed on the NAND, battery life may never be as optimized as everyone might hope for because it runs off the SD card...
[HD2 General] pHOBIAZ7:
Well now I'm confused again.

HD2 with Android will have dual-boot ? Like WinMo and Android? Are you guys sure that HD2 will have fully-optimized Android in close future? Just , I don't want to get HD2 and then get stuck with , idk how to say , WinMo...
[HD2 General] LondonTownGuy:
The HD2 already has dual boot function and Android is working pretty well. Things like GPS, Video camera, and a few other items are still outstanding, but the way the developers are going I would think we are weeks away rather than months from a fuuly usable OS.

I think if I was you I would get the desire you could always sell it in a few months when the new Desire HD comes out if you need a bigger device.
[HD2 General] pHOBIAZ7:
So after all , I should get HD2 ?
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
for sure , and now both the camera and gps works fine , only some minor speed issues , and it will be fully functional
[HD2 General] nzxtneo:
I vote for what he said.

And who knows maybe you will learn a lot more about this type of stuff with the HD2 over the Desire...
[HD2 General] pHOBIAZ7:
Ok guys , thanks for your replies.

HD2 is ordered , just waiting to be delivered :)
[HD2 General] LondonTownGuy:
Latest news, is that Devs have made A flashable rom a priority so hopefully we will see one soon. The HD2 is a very fast device and the speed difference will be more noticeble, than older devices tested on, as well as better battery performance.
[HD2 General] ClydeB1:
;) - see this from NRG posted yesterday.

The latest zimage now allows charging without booting with usb plugged in and power management seems better.
[HD2 General] pHOBIAZ7:
As far as I see, there will be fully-functional Android in matter of weekz :)
[HD2 General] nzxtneo:
Cool man, I hope it works out for you.

P.S. I like your new avatar pic!
[HD2 General] pHOBIAZ7:
Thank you :)
[HD2 General] matthewf01:
I guess the decision here has been made, but I'd like to bring up a point no one else has mentioned so far.

I was an HD2 user, and with many people around me at work getting Android phones, having access to cool apps while WinMo becomes even more 'forgotten' an OS as far as application support goes, I started to get the itch for Android.

Went ahead and bought a Desire (A8183, ATT compatible). Yep, the screen is much smaller. It's tough going backwards.

But the most striking difference to me, and immediately apparent --- BUILD QUALITY.

The Desire is pretty much entirely a plastic housing, with the exception of the metal trim around the screen. The lens over the screen is plastic, unlike the substantial and super-hard feeling of GLASS under your finger when using the HD2.

The entire back cover of the phone -- more plastic. You Kinda bend it and snap some tabs out of their place to pry the cover off and get access to the battery, etc.

The HD2 has a backing consisting of nice soft-touch plastic (which, sure, the Desire's plastic batt. cover is also coated in), and METAL. This adds some heft/weight, but a SOLID feeling, like you're holding something nice.

Honestly, the Desire feels a little junky. For being such a premiere Android phone (one of the Snapdragons), I'm surprised at how crappy it feels.

For this reason, I've held onto my HD2 for the few weeks I've owned the Desire...and now that the Android->HD2 port is gaining ground fast, the Desire is about to be up for sale again :)
[HD2 General] pHOBIAZ7:
matthewf01 I'm really thankfull for this explanation , I'm even more confident now :)

Thank you guys <3
[HD2 General] pHOBIAZ7:
Ok guys , I'm going to pick up my brand new HD2 this evening , or maybe tommorow morning :) Thanks again for all ur help :)

Hey all,

I've been playing with roms on my phone for a while and went to root my dad's phone today. I followed the instructions like this (but pre 2.1) to root my phone with no issue. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647707

When I flashed the PB00IMG.zip on my dad's phone, nothing seemed abnormal until i tried to mount the phone's SD Card. Now dad's phone doesn't mount. My phone is recognized in windows and linux, dad's phone isn't recognized and doesn't mount in either. It does charge, and i've been using the same cable.

What can I do?
[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
I'm not really an expert, but I would try a few different things, such as:

Pop the SD card out and back in.

Reboot.

Finish rooting. You don't need the card to mount. As long as USB debugging is on, you should be able to finish the other steps. Once you do those, and flash a new rom, your problems might work themselves out.

Once you've done these, and they don't work, then someone better versed than I might be able to point you in the right direction.

PS. Your dad's phone didn't have the 2.1 Update already? The guide you listed was from 1.5 to 2.1. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but something to think about... I just walked someone through online last night to root their phone with this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725096
[Droid Eris Android Development] sleepyastronaut:
ec- i have inserted and removed the card a few times, and rebooted a few times. usb debugging is on. before i started this process, the phone firmware was version 1.5, so no, i don't think it had the 2.1 update.

i would like to install the custom recovery, but when i try issuing "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" i get an error saying something to the effect of device not found.

is there another way to flash a rom than with custom recovery? can i flash a custom rom (like ivan's 1.0b) in the way i flashed the unlocked hboot rom? or flash a nandroid without the custom recovery?

Guys,

Help me out ASAP please.

I have an HD2 which screen isn't working and need to give for repair.

The problem is I already flashed Energy ROM and now I need to revert back to stock ROM.

I have reflashed my drive to shipped ROM, but when I go to the boot loader (Vol down power) I get the following:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x30

I don't think that is the stock HSPL, or whatever its name is. How do I get my device back to stock situation??? I must give the device tomorrow for repair so I really don't have any time. Have to do it ASAP.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MartinXDA:
That's odd, coz when you flash a stock ROM via SD-Card it practically overwrites everything in the cellphone (including SPL, Radio, bootscreen) to stock values..

Anyway in case you flashed the stock ROM using the customruu utility, just launch hspl3 again---> select SPL 1.42.0000 from the drop down list----> flash that and you should be good to go. :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cbeck:
Any chance you have it installed to a storage card, and that storage card had previously had tcpmp installed on it but on a different phone? If so, some of the settings (which are preserved even when uninstalling) may be causing problems. If that's the case, go into your storage card and delete the entire tcpmp folder (after uninstalling) and try to install it again...

Go to the market and get ADW launcher. Awesome app that you don't need root to use. Has a slide bar on the bottom to hide any app you want. Other than that, I'm not sure of a way off the top of my head to do so.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
When you say you are trying to hide apps from the app drawer....what do you mean? I dont think you can actually hide them from the app drawer if they are installed unless the app is designed to be hidden after install, such as "mobile defense" is. If you want to restrict access of apps so that someone cant just open your phone and get into your apps, there are apps out there that will require you to put in a password to gain access to your apps. I think the name of one of them is app protector.

If you are looking to hide them on your homescreen (ie: your app drawer dock)

then the best launcher to use would be "Launcher pro" or "ADW Launcher" In my personal experiance, I like Launcher Pro alot better. ADW has more settings options but there are a few functions on Launcher pro that I like more especialy the dock and app drawer ones.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Advanced launcher was in older versions of CyanogenMod. It had this feature. I don't know if the launcher is still being developed, but these new launchers should really take a cue from that. I found the feature useful, and I could definitely use it now. It also allowed you to put folders in your app drawer, which I thought was pretty cool.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cammarratta:
I believe app safe will hide them. Its from the people that made photosafe and video safe and what not. Check the market for it. But I'm not entirely sure.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
ADW is the only simple easy way. With ADW you can still have the app on your screens but hidden from the launcher drawer. You can also use the keyboard and type the app name and it shows up.

if windows and assuming you have installed the Android SDK, rename the SDK folder to simply c:\android

then run this little batch file (save it via notepad as whateveryouwant.bat), alternatively execute line by line the commands below

cd\android\tools

adb remount

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

pause 1

adb reboot

You need to enable sideloading separately. Refer to this post, specifically the section entitled "Also, enable installation of non-Market (untrusted) apps (sideloading)."

NOTES:

You MUST have root access on the phone in order for this to work

You must have the tools directory from the Android SDK installed.

sqlite3 is included in the Android SDK tools, so this would be the best way:

Windows:

Enable USB debugging (settings > applications > development > USB Debugging)

From the command prompt, change to the sdk/tools directory.

adb remount

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Optional test for success:

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

echo select value from secure where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db

If the last command returns 1, then your change is successful.

Linux/OS X

Enable USB debugging (settings > applications > development > USB Debugging)

From a superuser command prompt, change to the /sdk/tools directory

./adb remount

./adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

echo "update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';"|./sqlite3 settings.db

./adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Optional test for success:

./adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

echo "select value from secure where name = 'install_non_market_apps';"|./sqlite3 settings.db

If the last command returns 1, then your change is successful.
